Two Household Duties Which should Re

There is no department of household
labor that requires closer supervision
than washing and ironing, and while
it is not necessary or advisable fol-
every hoIsekeeper to do the work her.
self. it is very important that she
should know how to do it in order tt
direct others.
To wash properly. it is important te
have every thing in readiness, and sll
the utensils in order for the work.
Tubs sufficient in number and of sufli.
Gent size should be furnished, and
kept clean. the washboarl should ba
smooth and free from nails, and the
work. bench firm and high to prevent
fatigue from bending.
The clothes line and pins should b,
put in II basket or bag for safe keep
ing; hemp or cotton cord is better thai
a wire line.
Soft water is better than hard
water for washing. and rain water
preferable to any other. When every
thing is in readiness for the work. as
sort the clothes. separate the fine
from the coarse, and the slightly
sOilcd from the more soiled Hot su'ls
will set stains. and it is therefore best
to sc aid all of the table linen, and ar
ticles which are stained. by pouring
boiling water from the tea kettle on
them.
Have the water in the tub, rs WARM
as the hand will bear, being careful
not to have it too hot. Wash first one
bOilerful. taking through two suds.
then place in boiler of cold water
with soap to make suds. A little
bOrax added TO the water will whiten
the clothes, without injuring the text
ure of linen. Clothes should never
boil over five minutes. and many OK
cellent laundresses do not boil them
ut all. but pour boiling water over
them. After they are removed to the
tubs. cold water should be poured
over them. and every garment turned
wrong side out. and thorough
ly washed. and rinsed in y
tub Of clear soft wafer Then
in blue water. from which
they should be wrung out for the last
time; those not to be starched should
be hung out Immediately. and the
others dipped in starch rs hot as the
hands will bear. Those desired TO be
very stiff should be starched first and
we'll shaken before hanging on the line
to prevent wrinkling.
When dry remove to the clothes
basket. Turn all garments right side
out, shake well. pull smoothly. begin
ming ut the top of the garment. roll
each to itself; fold sheets without
sprinkling. after stretching. and lay on
top, over all spread the ironing
blanket
If machine is used in washing. it is
better to soak the clothes over night
in warm water. Some housekecpers
use washing flu ills. and if the ingredi-
EMS are harmless. they tighten the
labor without destroying the fabric.
The following are among the best
fluids: To five quarts Of water put one
pound of salsoda. half a pound Of I'M
Stacked lime and small lump Of
borax. Boil. when cold pour off and
bottle. Use one teacupful for every
boiler of clothes -Eliza Psdkes, in

TEMPERANCE READING.
TWO SIGNS.

On the corner. what see you at night!
Tnro' the Oft opened door, the high polished
floor,
And mirrors and ''bar fixtures bright.
Pass under THE Glass Of Champagne"
Gaudy pictures bedeck the pale wall,
Not an oath is here heard, not loud-spoken
word,
Meek walters obey ev'ry call.
Not q sound Of carousal or brawl-
All is quiet, AMI polished, and fine.
Here gentlemen Cali. in society's drawl,
For their brandy or sparkling wine.
Pedestrians on the street hear
But the click OF the cues as they pass,
It is not disgrace to be seen in this place,
And the drunkards here made are irst-class.
See that youth barely out Of his teens
Approach the gay. glittering bar
His head is held high. and smiling his eye,
As he calls !or his wine or cigar.
Diamonds fash on his snowy white shirt,
Diamonds flash on his snowy-white hand
He's the acme Of style. oh, well may he smile,
For fortune is his to command.
At the sign Of 1.-THE Big Lager Glass
Oll the corner what 50 CnQS co You near!
You hear istic bouts, and vile drunken shouts,
And the clinking Of glasses of beer.
Pass under 1.-The Big Lager Glass
There is dancing and music in there,
And topical songs on the work ng- mans wrongs
BY maidens once guilelesS ard fair.
Pass on to the Oh sloppy bar,
See that brute b!oated, dirty. blear-eyed.
Clothes battered and torn, unshayen, unshorn,
Hand nervously twitching at side.
See him search and research his foul rags,
See the big drops of sweat on his brow
Ev'ry nerve, ev'ry vein is throbbiny with pain,
And crying for stimulus nor.
At the sign of 1.-The Glass Of Champagne"
You saw, not a long time ago,
With his head held up high, and with gay,
smiling eye,
This brute so besotted and low.
At the sign of 1.-THE Glass OF Champagne
He once strutted proud lispng swell,
He scorned to drink beer, but he begS for 1t

In q lower but not a worse hell.
Let's depart from this horrible den,
And as thro' its dark portals we pass,
Let's swear, as we're men, to never again

And let's swear, as we laugh at the brutes,
And scott at their will-power and brain,
To take to the stall if we e'er again call

Another Whisky Massacre.

The Vernon horror, by which every
passenger and all but one of the crew
of a lake steamer persisted, is proved
by testimony before the cOroner's jury,
to be another whisky massacre. The
captain was a confirmed drunkard-
VIGOROUSLY so; had had delirium
tremens on former trips. What the
company were thinking about. entrust-
ing such a man with the control of II
vessel, we can not imagine. The lone
survivor testified: 1.-The captain was
drunk most of the time, and he was
very drunk when we left Cheboygan
last week. Friday night, the night
the steamer was lost, he was as drunk
as l ever saw him. and kept taking a
drink every little while from bottle
that he carried in his coat pocket. II
the captain had been sober. don't be.
lieve the vessel would have been lost,
for any sober man would have turned
back when he saw how badly she acted
in the big sea-"
The whole world is aroused. and
justly. by the Haymarket massacre.
vet here is a massacre by which not
seven lives only, but seventy are sacri-
feed, and because whisky did it." its
lesson makes no more lasting mark
than do the waves Which, closed over
the poor victims.-Unioaa Signal.
We hold the liquor traffic to be an
unmitigated curse at all times and in
every place; the pursuance of it on
the Sabbath day adds little. if any
thing. to its enormity, but, since it is
permitted by law 10 run its ruinous
and degrading COURSE for six days OF
the week. we do demand that the
saloons, those mills of destruction,
shall cease grinding one day in seven
their grist of disease and misery and
crime, shall give us time enough to
pray, with renewed zeal, that God will
hasten the day when this mother OF
denominations may be wholly wiped
from the earth.-N Y Observer.

to the other side. The little one stirred,
but did not wake from its deep sleep Of
exhaustion. The curls nestled up under
Nathan's hair, and q curious sensation
stirred his heart. The journey was nearly
over now. These were Ezra's fences past
which he walked. He was holding Baby
Stafford in his arms for the last time
all his life. Perhaps he should never again
look upon that innocent face lying against
